Most of them? Or, more accurately to my knowledge, most of the ones I've had. I mean, hell, even when I delivered pizza, they didn't really get all bent out of shape when I tried to do things differently as long as it was something vaguely towards the goal they wanted.

In my experience, unless someone is really hardwired for micro-management, people cool of and let you do things your way once you have a couple months at the place and have demonstrated some competence (this includes in some very traditionally corporate environments).
